A spiner's Fatal mistake.

A small garden solder mad spun DIS weo
In corner where perpendicular column
and q horizontal rail met, and from the

dipterous prey. A handsome yellow wasp

M q great buzzing, which shook the wen
from end to end. The wstchtul spider
ran out little way, stretched forth

upon him, the graceful body bent nearly
double, and once, twice, thrice, sgsin

luckIess spider. AS his struggles gre"

required rare personal characteristics, the
progress was slow, yet the results none
the less surprising. At the recent annual
meeting of these Indian missions, held
at Santee Agency, Neb., there were repre-
sentatives from nearly every agency.
Some came 300 miles overland to attend
this conference. About three hundred
were present, who camped in the prim-
tive way, contrasting with the mod
ern architecture of the mission build
ings in manner quite suggestive to an
observer. No less suggestive was the con-
trast between the wild untutored red man
and the Indian who has given up life of
rowing for one more humble; who has
thrown away the feather and the war
club, washed off the paint and taken up
with a more useful calling. AS an in
stance, one could but recommend the
favorable appearance of Rev. Artemus
Ehnamani, full-blooded Indian, con-
trasted beside the wilder brother of his
race Artemus was in the Minnesota
outbreak of 1869, imprisoned, tried and
condemned to death. He was, however,

A QUEER THEFT.
Brahmin Charged With Stealing the
Throne of HindOO God.

Brahmin Charged With Stealing the
Throne of a Hindoo God.
A Brahman, named Gopal Chunder
Gangooly, was recently charged at the
Calcutta Police Court by Narain Chun-
der Mookerjee, on behalf of Baboo
Kanye Lall Dhur, with the theft of a
gold throne of the Hindoo god Shall
gram, valued at 900 rupees, a gold
Brahminical thread, and a gold UNI
brella belonging to the god. On the
night of the 25th of September the &C
cused was arrested in the street with the
articles in his possession, except the UNI
brella. On the Goth day of September
Baboo Kanye Lall Dhur, who had poo
jah at his house, discovered that the
throne of Shalgram (which was placed
in front of the goddess Doorgah in
the dallan) was missing, and also the
gold Brahminical badge and umbrella
of the Shaigram. Information was
given at the local thannah, and the
accused was identified as having
been at the Baboo's poojah house on
the night of the 25th on two occasions,
the last being about eleven o'clock, when
he was asked how he came to be there
without an invitation, and replied that
he had come to see the poojah. The
throne found with the accused was iden-
titled by the complainant as his property
Inspector Davis informed the court that
there had been three other similar cases
on the three successive nights of the
poOjahs, which were still undiscovered,
there being no trace of the property
stolen or the thieves. The accused pleaded
not guilty, but was convicted and SEN
fenced to nine months rigorous i'm
prisonment.- Elchange.

RESTING HIS BRAINS.
How a Noted Poet and Writer Finds
Work to Do.

How a Noted Poet and Writer Finds
Work to Do.
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, during the
busy years Of his life, it is said, was &C
customed to rest his brain by working
with his hands. Under the great library
table there was smaller one, which was
a miniature workshop fitted with turn
ing lathe and tools, with which the poet
made boxes, brackets and toys for his
friends. The little shop moved on tiny
railway track, in the floor, so that on the
approach of visitor who could not ap-
preciate "jimcracks" the doctor could
push the table, tools and all, under the
large one, entirely out of sight. The
mai ,rity of brain-workers have had some
pursuit, taste or handicraft which re-
lievcd the tension on the brain of steady
application in one direction. Sometimes,
as in the case of Mr.. Gladstone's tree
chopping or Mr.. Hawthorne's potato
digging, it was severe physical exertion
that gave rest to the mind, but oftener it
was the employment of the fingers and
the brain in some lighter work than the
daily craft. Hans Andersen cut paper
figures with marvellous skill, one of the
great Russian novelists makes clay pipes
of every shape, and one of the most
eminclt clergymen in this country dab
bles in chemistry and has nearly blown up
his family on several occasions.-Er-

years ago Indians belonging now to the
quiet tribes, who have accepted lands in
severalty and settled down, were as wild,
if not wilder, than those upon the
frontier now, there certainly is
encouragement. Contrast, if you will,
the uncivilized with the civilized.
There is good reason for confidence.
Dress makes a difference somewhat.
But the intelligence displayed by culture
is a result which the lover of character
study can but admire and credit to a
higher cause than a covering of fine
clothes. The Indian is initiative; but
without proper example his imitation
is oftentimes grotesque. 1t is thus that
the Indian missions are spreading work
that deserves the encouragement it is re
ceiving.
The true missionary does not coddle
the Indians. Neither is he attracted by
any romantic sentiment. He knows the
noble red man of the poet to be myth.
He knows the real savage. On the one
hand stands the work, calling him to lone
some separation, and on the other the
pleasant companionship of civilized So
ciety. Acceptance of the former lot can
be made tolerable only by the support of
convictions that ignore earthly rewards.
The self-sacriicing men and women who
labor among the Indians look to higher
Judgment upon their efforts than that of
the world. They have gone on with their
work year after year until now the i'm
provement effected in the condition of
the Indians is admitted by those who
once had nothing but scorn for endeavor
in that direction. A decade ago to the

Webster's Unabridged Dictionary says
that an almanac is "a book or table con
tanning a calendar of days, weeks and
months, to which astronomical data and
various statistics are often added, such
as the times of the rising and setting Of
the sun and moon, changes of the moon
lipses, hours of full tide, stated festi-
walls of churches, weather probabilities,
ETC." All this and more too will be found

A Curious "Reminiscences.

A curious Renaissance of Catharine de
Medicis and her superstition came to light
while a corn market in Paris was being
pulled down. 1t is no less than column
erected for astrological purposes, a sort of OBJ
servatory on the grounds of her new hotel,
afterward Hotel de scissors. There the Flor
entine astrologer, Ruggieri, made his obser-
vations of the sky. 1t consists of column
twenty seven metres high, futed and termi-
mating in sphere crowned by lightning
rod. In one place is an inscription in French,
This astronomical column was erected for
the Queen Catharine de Medicis in 1872 by

the white mantle prospects of his
Characterization and evangelization are
certainly dim. Nevertheless there is en-
enlargement in the results of missions
among Indians. The writer speaks more
particularly of the Sioux Indians, be-
cause he is better acquainted with them
on the one hand, and on the other be-
cause the Sioux nation is larger in the
aggregate than any other.
1t was found necessary in the early
work of missions to teach the language
of the Sioux by writing and printing.
After years of labor, the Dakota Gram
mar and Dictionary" was completed by
the Rev. Stephen r. Riggs, d. D., LII. D.,
followed years after by complete trans
lation of the Bible by this same father of
the missionary work among the Sioux.
The handful of native missionaries that
began in 1887 have grown to such an ex-
tent through the instrumentality of these
early missions that now nearly every
Sioux Indian agency has representa-
ton.

furthering the work at this time among
the rising generation. But be-
